About the Item

The illustration, an original hand-colored engraving, features a collection of shells and marine organisms, likely from various classes of the phylum Mollusca: 1. **Lingule anatine** - This could represent Lingula anatina, a species of brachiopod, which are marine animals with bivalve-like shells. 2. & 3. **Terebratule dorsale** - Likely a dorsal view of a Terebratulid brachiopod, recognized for their lamp shell shape. 4. **----- ailée** - The descriptor suggests a winged form, which could refer to a type of bivalve or possibly another brachiopod with wing-like extensions. 5. **----- canalière** - This term might indicate a shell with a channeled structure. 6. **Orbicule de Norvège** - Could be referring to Orbicula, a genus of small, disc-shaped brachiopods. 7. **Cranie en masque** - Possibly a "mask-like" cranial structure of a marine organism, but the exact type is unclear. 8. **Pollicipède groupé** - Suggestive of a clustered barnacle (order Pedunculata), which are sessile crustaceans with hard plates. 9. **Cinéras à bandes** - This might be related to a banded sea creature, potentially a type of sea urchin or similar echinoderm. 10. **Balane tulipe** - Appears to be a tulip-shaped barnacle, another type of crustacean. 11. **Coronule diadème** - Likely a type of coronulid barnacle, known to attach to whales or other large marine animals. 12. **Tubicinelle des Baleines** - This name suggests a relationship with whales, which could be a tubeworm or barnacle that attaches to whales. The hand-colored engraving from 'The 'Dictionnaire Classique des Sciences Naturelles' by Pierre Auguste Joseph Drapiez is a detailed depiction of marine life forms, designed for educational and scientific purposes in the mid-19th century.
